DEVICE FOR rnonucnre DIE-CUT NoonLEs Application filed November 23,1926.

The device, the subject of this invention is in reality a combination ofa press and a plurality of stamping machines, the object being to reducethe work required in making fancy cut or stamped noodles or bologna, toobviate the necessity for handling the paste sheets and of preparing thesheet in rolls as is now required.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for improving thegeneral appearance of stamped alimentary paste proclucts.

The following is what we consider the best means of carrying out thisinvention and the accompanying drawing should be referred to for acomplete understanding of the specification.

Fig. 1, is a side elevation partly in section, showing a press orexpressing means,

a plurality of stamping machines and the transfer means employedtherewith.

Fig. 2, is a plan view of the die.

At 1 in the drawing we show the cylinder of a press, at 2 the pistonoperable therein and at 3 the pump or oil cylinder which operates thepiston 2. The shape of the members 1, 2, and 3 may be varied at will. Wemay use round presses with round dies or square, oval or oblong presses,in fact, as we desire our sheets to be of the standard width for thestandard stamping machine, we will probably prefer to use an oval oroblong die or a round die of large diameter and while we have shown ahydraulic cylinder a screw press may be employed if desired.

The stamping machines shown at 1 and 5 are of ordinary construction,such as are empioyed for cutting noodles of fancy shapes, it beingnoted, however, that the usual pressing rolls are omitted and thematerial is introduced directly between thecalibrating rolls 6 and 7.From these calibrating rolls the material passes to the feeder rolls 8and then under the die 9.

.As the construction of all of these Ina- Serial N'o. 150,200.

chines is well known and readily understood, certain of the unnecessarydetails of construction are omitted.

At 10 we show, the approximate position of the die. These dies areslotted and preferably produce two sheets of paste simultaneously. Thebifurcated wedge shaped end 11 of the transfer mechanism separates thesheets and directs them one through each of the stamping machines andthe apron memwithin the cylinder 1 is forced out of the cylinder, thespeed of the travel of the plunger or piston 2 will slightly increaseduring the latter portion of its travel, as the resistance against thetravel becomes lessened so that time will be provided for the return ofthe piston and the changing of the cylinder as is required.

After the fancy shapes are cut, the waste material enters the container16; the cut shapes falling through the trough 17 may be received inboxes or containers upon the conveyor 18. This is also an ordinary andcustomary operation and while modifications may be made within the scopeof the appended claims, we prefer the whole as shown and described.

Having carefully and fully described our invention, what we claim anddesire to obtain is 2- V 1. Means for producing alimentary paste infancy designs, which consists of a plurality of stamping machines, eachhaving a plurality of dies in transverse alignment, a die expressingmachine arranged there between and adapted to deliver a sheet of pasteto each stamping machine.

2. Means for producing alimentary paste in fancy designs, which consistsof a plurality of machines for cutting and moulding the paste, and a dieexpressing machine arranged therebetween, and provided with a die havingtwo slots for sheeting the paste and adapted to deliver two sheets ofpaste, one to each cutting and moulding machine and transfer mechanismsbetween said press and each stamping machine.

Signed at the borough and county of Queens, city and State of New York,this 27th day of October, 1926.
